A bicycle shifting system is basically provided with a first shifting device, a second shifting device and a controller. One of the first shifting device and the second shifting device is mechanically operated, while the other of the first shifting device and the second shifting device is electrically operated. The controller is configured to operate at least one of the first shifting device and the second shifting device in accordance with at least one of a predetermined upshifting route and a predetermined downshifting route.

An apparatus for a bicycle includes an intermediate power connector configured for transmitting power between a bicycle component and a power source positioned remote from the bicycle component. The intermediate power connector has a coupling portion configured for removable attachment to a connecting portion of the bicycle component. The bicycle component can also include a battery having a battery coupling portion configured for removable attachment to the connecting portion of the bicycle component. The battery and the intermediate power connector can be selectively attachable to the bicycle component to provide power thereto.

A control device and a transmission system are provided that allow for comfortable traveling with a human-powered vehicle. The control device includes an electronic controller configured to control a transmission to shift a transmission ratio of a human-powered vehicle in accordance with a first shifting condition set based on a first reference value. The electronic controller is configured to shift the transmission ratio of the human-powered vehicle regardless of the first shifting condition upon determining a second shifting condition set based on travel information related to traveling of the human-powered vehicle is satisfied.

An operating device is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The operating device basically includes a base, a first operating member, a first electric switch, a first load generator and an operating load adjuster. The first operating member is movably arranged with respect to the base. The first electric switch is provided to the base and arranged to be activated by movement of the first operating member. The first load generator is configured to generate an operating load applied to the first operating member. The operating load adjuster is configured to adjust a transition of the operating load from a first load transition to a second load transition different from the first load transition.

A bicycle with an electric pedal assist motor capable of driving a chainring independent of cranks includes wheel speed sensors and crank cadence sensors. The wheel speed sensors and the crank cadence sensors measure wheel speed and crank cadence, respectively, and provide the measured wheel speed and crank cadence to controller of the bicycle. The controller activates motor overdrive based on the measured wheel speed and/or the measured crank cadence.

A shifting system for a human-powered vehicle comprises a controller. The controller is configured to receive a driving torque and a cadence of the human-powered vehicle from at least one sensor. The controller is configured to determine a permitted shift timing based on the driving torque and the cadence. The controller is further configured to control a shift mechanism to perform a gear shift during the permitted shift timing in accordance with a permitted cadence range and a first threshold of the driving torque.

An Actuating device for a bicycle is provided. The actuating device may include a static element which is positionally fixed in relation to a bicycle frame, a movable element which is movable in relation to the static element, an electromechanical drive which provides drive force for a movement of the movable element. The electromechanical drive has a motor and a gearing driven by the motor. The gearing may include a first gearing wheel and a second gearing wheel which is in engagement with the first gearing wheel.

A human-powered vehicle control device is for a human-powered vehicle. The human-powered vehicle includes a motor that applies a propulsion force to the human-powered vehicle and a shifting device that changes a transmission ratio, which is a ratio of a rotational speed of a wheel of the human-powered vehicle to a rotational speed of a crank of the human-powered vehicle. The human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that is configured to control the shifting device to change the transmission ratio in accordance with a comparison of a first parameter related to the human-powered vehicle and a predetermined threshold value. In a case where an output of the motor decreases as a vehicle speed of the human-powered vehicle increases, the electronic controller is configured to change the predetermined threshold value.
